Public Employment Risk Reduction Program

The role and mission of the Public Employment Risk Reduction Program (PERRP) is to ensure public employees in Ohio have safe and healthy working conditions.

Public employers must furnish to each public employee a workplace free from recognized hazards that cause or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm.

Mission
PERRP assures safe and healthful working conditions for Ohio's public employees by adopting and enforcing standards, and by providing training, outreach, education and compliance assistance to prevent occupational injuries and illnesses.

Vision
Our services are designed to simplify complex regulatory requirements to ensure effective safety and health programs are implemented in the workplace, and raise an awareness of how occupational injuries and illnesses can impact a public employer's financial resources.
